Multi-Color Corporation (MCC) ceased operations at its Bingen site on 31 August 2026. The plant produced wet-glue and pressure-sensitive labels primarily for the wine, sparkling wine and spirits industry.
According to MCC, extensive measures to stabilise and improve the economic situation failed to create a sustainable basis for long-term continued operations. With the cessation of production, the 95-year history of the site comes to an end.
The business was founded in 1931 as GEWA Etiketten GmbH. Over the following decades, the company developed into a manufacturer of high-quality finished wet-glue and self-adhesive labels. Since 2017, the company has belonged to the Multi-Color Corporation, and most recently around 170 employees worked there.
Customers are supported via a European network
The statement does not reveal the specific impact of the closure on employees. However, MCC points to the consequences of the decision for the employees, their families and the region, and thanks the workforce for their long-standing commitment.
Existing customer relationships are to be managed through MCC’s European production network in future. According to the company, the transition of business activities will be supported to ensure the continuation of cooperation with customers.
